Slayer - European Tour Postponed
It is with immense disappointment that Slayer must postpone its UK and European tour that had been set to kick off on November 18 in the UK, and take the band on 19 dates through Europe, ending on December 17 in Germany. The tour will be rescheduled to kick off on March 7 in Manchester, England (complete itinerary is below).
Vocalist/bassist Tom Araya has been under the care of a specialist for a back injury, and while he has already made substantial improvement, he is continuing on with doctor-prescribed treatment.
"Right now," said Slayer's manager, Rick Sales, "our main concern must be the full and permanent recovery of Tom, so we have decided to clear the calendar and give him the extra time he needs to concentrate solely on good health."
Last week, Slayer announced the postponement of its east coast "Canadian Carnage" co-headline tour with Megadeth; those dates will be rescheduled in February 2010.
The new UK/European schedule is:
Mar. 07 - Manchester, UK - Academy
Mar. 08 - London, UK - Forum

Mar. 11 - Paris, France - Bataclan

It's a real shame to hear this. I was getting all excited about seeing them at Rock City this Wednesday! Really glad it's all been rescheduled though, as opposed to cancelled entirely. I contacted the venue and they said my tickets I already had will be valid for the rescheduled show, so I would guess that is the case with all the other shows which is good. I would advise people in this situation to contact the venue and check to be certain though.

I'm actually never seen Slayer and I was planning on going to the show in Wiesbaden. Well, now I just have more time to save money and what not. Sucks that they put this news out RIGHT before the tour should kick off!

I also hope that Tom recovers well and that it helps Slayer get back and firing on all cylinders!

Kind of the best result for me. I was too busy to sort anything out for this week.
